K-TravelMuse: Recently, Shenzhen is most like an amusement park, and I have been to it several times. Going again this time, the amusement park has been renovated and refurbished. The most famous one is a glass bridge, but this time there is no fun, because the weather is so cold that there is not enough clothes, and there are many stairs to go up to the glass bridge. Don't want to do it. In addition, the most notable is the "Dream World" noodle egg waffle. I think it's so good. I went to eat it 3 times this time.

The service attitude of the front desk is very good 😄! Called several times, heard the surrounding situation, answered one by one, very detailed! Really understanding and reasonable! Simply awesome! I also like the apartment-style decoration style, warm and convenient. Good environment, good hygiene, better service! It's okay to get off work, go to the nearby shopping mall, it's very convenient! I made an appointment with my colleague at Haidilao, and my colleague also said that it is very convenient to go downstairs to the shopping mall! The floor attendant is also very good. I forgot to dry my laundry. When I came back from get off work, I found that it had been dried and left a note. I was very attentive and moved! Finally, I have to praise the breakfast. The buffet breakfast is very rich. I will have breakfast on time every day, and then I will move the bricks! haha 😄

Anonymous User: I came to see friends. I arrived early, and the front desk also checked in early. It was very caring, the lobby was very stylish, the apartment has a free gym, and there are swimming pools for adults and children. Unfortunately, it is raining this time. As for the amusement park, my friend's daughter had a great time. The apartment is integrated with the shopping mall. It's so convenient. You can live indoors without going out. There is also a cinema. I watched a movie by Zhu Yilong with my friends. I must stay at Ascott next time I come to Dongguan👍👍👍
